Chapter 62: The Scholar and the Butcher
Yun Chu's familiarity with the catapult of Wu Duo is engraved in his life, a long time ago, he was too young to catch up with those sheep running around when he was grazing, and Wu Duo became his best helper.
At the beginning, he only used Wuduo to drive sheep, later used it to hunt marmots, fish, and then used Wuduo to fight wolves and drive leopards, and after returning to Chang'an, he used it to kill Xu Jingzong's grandson.
Until now, no one has been able to find out that he killed Xu Jingzong's grandson, although Di Renjie is very sure that Yun Chu killed him, and Yun Chu also admitted it, but he still has no evidence that a person can throw a stone over a row of houses and kill a moving target.
People who study chemistry are highly sensitive to time, because the effects of chemistry are different depending on the time.
Therefore, in the chaotic battlefield, no one saw Yun Chu throw out a lit thunder bomb with Wuduo.
Yusuf urged the horse to run at full speed, and when the mane of the white horse under his crotch whipped like a whip on his stomach, he knew that no one in the world could catch up with him.
A thunder bomb fell from the air and hit the white horse's stomach hard, and before the white horse felt pain, a loud bang exploded on the white horse's stomach, and the explosion tore open the white horse's stomach, and the organs that were originally well packed in the stomach were squeezed out of the hole at once, and the white horse was still running wildly.
After all, it was this BMW that endured everything, and Yousufu, who was blown up by a loud noise, had not come back to his senses, and the BMW under his crotch fell to the ground, and when Yousufu, who was thrown out by the white horse, rolled in the air, he saw Yun Chu in black armor, and this person's eyes were full of joy.
Yun Chu was actually very worried that Yusuf would fall to his death, because no one would be willing to pay for Yusuf to buy it.
Therefore, when throwing thunder bombs, he deliberately avoided Yusuf, thinking that he would fall to the ground with the war horse, and there would be a buffer, but he didn't expect this guy to be thrown out by the war horse.
Seeing Yusuf smash to the ground, making up a cloud of smoke and dust, Yun Chu shouted, and the jujube red horse accelerated again, trying to move forward to snatch the results of the battle.
It was not only Yun Chu who came to rob together, but also Liang Ying and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, as well as a large group of personal guards belonging to Yousufu.
Because of the distance, some of the great cannibals risked their lives to fend off the pursuers, and some of the guards who were closer to Yusuf jumped off their horses, regardless of whether Yusuf was injured or not, and put him sideways on the horse's back, and wanted to run again.
The horse lance in Yun Chu's hand flickered wildly, and at this moment he used a lot of strength, and when the horse lance was pulled out of the neck of the last guard, he laughed out loud because Yusuf, who had just been put on a war horse, fell off the horse again.
Yun Chu only arrived at Yousuf's side, and the last big cannibal slashed at Yousuf's neck with a desperate face, and the horse lance flew the long knife, and the wide lance blade stunned the loyal big cannibal, Yun Chu's lance blade against Yousuf's neck, and finally felt at ease.
It's just that Yusuf didn't move, and he pulled Yusuf's cheek with a horse lance and found that he didn't move at all.
After jumping off the horse in a hurry and touching Yusuf's pulse, the uneasiness in his heart subsided, this guy was still alive, but he was knocked unconscious, and it was obvious that one leg was broken, and the blood-stained white bones pierced the skin, and the exposed side was covered with dust.
Looking at the sandy ground that was wet with blood, Yun Chu hurriedly helped Yusufu stop the bleeding and bandage.
Yusuf's pulse finally calmed down, and for the time being, he couldn't die.
"Blow the trumpet, let's get out of here."
After settling Yusuf, Yun Chu immediately ordered to advance in the direction from which Yusuf's army had come, and his military qualities told him that none of the other directions was safe.
Yun Chu gave up the big eating horses and those armors that were at his fingertips, which made the old thieves of the Tang Dynasty very frustrated.
Although there were some gains along the way, they had discarded many more.
Huo Yan came to Yun Chu with a bitter face and said, "The prince ......"
Yun Chu didn't wait for him to speak, he smiled and said, "Want those big eating horses and those beautiful armors?" ”
Chopho nodded repeatedly.
Yun Chu said: "As long as you want to, do it." ”
Cho Poison was overjoyed, and only then did he turn around and take a few steps, and then heard Yun Chu instruct Liang Ying again: "With them, we don't need to leave the candidates for the broken back, and order the three armies to advance immediately." ”
Chopho immediately gave up the idea of going back to the main battlefield to search for loot, shouted loudly and gathered his companions who were grabbing big horses everywhere, and immediately reorganized the army to keep up with the pace of the army.
This time, Yun Chu personally took the lead in front, and behind him, whether it was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the old thieves, or those servants of the Western Regions, they were constantly adjusting their teams on the march, counting the casualties, and the government soldiers who were in charge of the logistics of the thunder bombs had to distribute the thunder bombs that had just been lost in this vicious battle.
The dead are tied to their horses as if they were still alive, and the wounded are also tied to their horses and move on.
The news from the scouts was not good at all, at this moment, there were four large cannibal teams of 10,000 people, outflanked them, and the nearest was less than twenty miles away from the main battlefield.
Yun Chu left the big cannibal who wanted to kill Yusuf at the last moment, and poured water into his thirsty mouth, which he hoped to tell the later big cannibals that their governor was in the hands of the Tang people, and if he needed this governor to live, he would bring money to ransom people.
If he didn't want this great cannibal governor in the East, he was going to strip this great cannibal governor of the East naked, shave all his hair, and use it as a clown to exhibit on this land and make money.
"We lost seven hundred and sixty-one people in battle." Liang Ying, who was busy returning from the front and back of the team, whispered in Yun Chu's ear.
Yun Chu glanced at Liang Ying and said, "Why do you want to whisper?" ”
Liang Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "The last general is worried that it will affect the morale of the army. ”
Yun Chu said angrily: "With less than 4,000 soldiers, I defeated 10,000 Great Food Elites head-on, captured their commanders alive, and lost more than 700 battles, do you think this news will affect the morale of the army?" ”
Yun Chu's voice was very loud, and many people heard the words of the county honor, even those old thieves couldn't help but straighten their chests, although more than half of the seven hundred and sixty-one people who died in the battle were rangers, old thieves, they still felt that they had just participated in an epic battle.
They had only come to the west, and they had heard more than once or twice about the fierceness and invincibility of the Great Eclipse army.
Now, under the command of the prince, with a mere force of more than 3,000 troops, they have slain no less than 4,000 cannibal cavalry and defeated them
Tens of thousands of cannibal cavalry captured alive their highest officials in the East.
The battle damage was only 761 people, which is really nothing.
One hundred and twenty-seven soldiers were killed in the battle, Yun Chu's heart was aching faintly, four hundred and eighty-six rangers and old thieves were killed in the battle, Yun Chu felt a little regretful, if these people did not die, they would become good adventurers and explorers in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
As for how many loyal Western Regions servants died, he didn't feel it, as long as he gave them enough rewards, he didn't care.
The most casualties in cavalry combat are fractured patients, broken arms, legs, and ribs, which are very troublesome, and they obviously need to be tied to a splint and then recuperate, but now there is no such condition, and it is estimated that after arriving at a safe place, dozens of people will die.
After a six-day long journey, Yun Chu once again arrived at the city of Heraz, which was backed by snow-capped mountains.
The city was so clean that Hassan and Camis were gone, not only the people who farmed and grazed under the snowy mountains, but also the city.
Obviously, this city has been the Great Food Army has come, they cleaned up the corpses, repaired a few high lookout posts, when Yun Chu's army arrived in Hraz, the lookout post on the snow-capped mountain was lit with thick smoke, Yun Chu looked at it and found that the Great Cannibal used the smoke to warn in a very scientific way, there is a fireworks point every thirty miles, from the snow mountain to the depths of the earth.
The most scientific thing is that these wolf smoke are intermittent smoke, one will be, one will not, one will be a circle, one will be a pillar of smoke, it seems that there are some simple password rules in it.
Yun Chu didn't care much about being discovered by the enemy, anyway, the purpose of his trip was to attract all the Great Eclipse army, and by the way, to negotiate business with these Sassanid Persian occupiers, conquerors, and seeers.
After checking that there were no flammable materials, no poison in the wells, and no hidden caves in the city, the army moved into the deserted city of Heraz.
Liang Ying went to check whether the retreat of the tropical rainforest was well thought out at the first time, and Yun Chu had a profound conversation with the captured cannibal governor of the Far East, Yusuf.
"The Great Food Country has always been good friends with you Datang, why would the prince and marquis take the initiative to provoke, aren't you afraid that the king of Datang will blame?"
Yusuf, who had had one leg sawed off, still looked elegant, with almost no human affection in his gray-brown eyes, and even though he looked embarrassed and didn't have a leg, he still said things that were in line with his status as the governor of the East.
Yun Chu handed Yu Sufu a cup of tea and said, "This is a new cup, it is made by calcining the fire, the water is also from the living water, and the tea leaves are from the trees of the East, according to your teachings, they are all clean and drinkable." ”
Yusufu took the tea and said: "Even if it is a prisoner, will the Tang people treat each other with courtesy?" ”
Yun Chu poured himself a cup of tea, held it in his hand and said, "We follow some ancient etiquette, which has been adhered to for two thousand years, and sometimes, this kind of hospitality has penetrated into our bone marrow, and will drive us to involuntarily follow these ancient etiquette. ”
Yusuf took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "The person who can make such an impressive drink should be as elegant as a troubadour, why is he so cruel that everywhere he goes, not a single grass grows?" ”
Yun Chu smiled: "I have also heard that the Great Cannibal is generous and benevolent, even if he treats wanderers, he will invite them into his tent to rest, and when he farewells, he will also prepare sumptuous food for wanderers.
Why did such a benevolent man slaughter so many Persians? Why can't they live in peace? ”
Yusuf smiled, "It seems that both of us have blood on our hands, so we might as well stop speaking in the tone of a scholar, which will make both of us feel a strong sense of guilt."
After all, you have betrayed the manners you followed, and I have betrayed the teachings I believe, and neither of them can be considered a good and elegant person.
So, let's say something a butcher should say. ”
